Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

Being a role model is a privilege.

If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.

There are moments that aren't great. And I think it's amazing for people to be able to have some insight, to be able to see the support system and what really happens.
